I will go onto discord servers looking for answers that a searchable forum or wiki is better suited for. First thing I do is use discord’s shitty search tool, and if it works I type my question and the found answer again in the relevant chat for future searchers and get the fuck out of there.

Here’s hoping this gets more software off the discord support teat. No, you do not need real time chat, you need searchable, permanent presence. Discord support is such a red flag I immediately move on even if it’s OSS. If you can’t do real doco and you can’t stand up a forum (Discourse is nice I hear) then what chance do you have of being competent.
Also, IPO incoming, expect it to get worse.

why not both? Discourse is really nice but it’s a forum, not IRC or Matrix

Is it? Ah, well that would explain it.
